A partial field is an algebraic object that allows one to simultaneously abstract several different representability properties of matroids. In this paper we study partial fields as algebraic objects in their own right. We characterize the…

Let $A = \begin{bmatrix} E & F \\ F^T & G \end{bmatrix}$ be a $2n \times 2n$ real positive definite matrix, where $E, F,$ and $G$ are $n \times n$ blocks. It is shown that $\ d(E \oplus G) \prec^w d(A)$. Here $d(A)$ denotes the $n$-vector…

We study infinite systems of mean field weakly coupled intermittent maps in the Pomeau-Manneville scenario. We prove that the coupled system admits a unique ``physical'' stationary state, to which all absolutely continuous states converge.…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the field with $q$ elements and of characteristic $p$. For $a\in\mathbb{F}_p$ consider the set \begin{equation*} S_a(n)=\{f\in\mathbb{F}_q[x]\mid\operatorname{deg}(f)=n,~f\text{ irreducible, monic and}…

We prove that the $k$th term of the lower central series of a finite group $G$ is nilpotent if and only if $|ab|=|a||b|$ for any $\gamma_k$-commutators $a,b\in G$ of coprime orders.

We consider a class of finite-dimensional algebras, the so-called "Staircase algebras" parametrized by Young diagrams. We develop a complete classification of representation types of these algebras and look into finite, tame (concealed) and…

In this paper we investigate nilpotenct and probabilistically nilpotent Hopf algebras. We define nilpotency via a descending chain of commutators and give a criterion for nilpotency via a family of central invertible elements. These…

Motivated by the recent work of Zhi-Wei Sun on determinants involving the Legendre symbol, in this paper, we study some matrices concerning subgroups of finite fields. For example, let $q\equiv 3\pmod 4$ be an odd prime power and let $\phi$…

The weak Whyburn property is a generalization of the classical sequential property that has been studied by many authors. A space $X$ is weakly Whyburn if for every non-closed set $A \subset X$ there is a subset $B \subset A$ such that…

Let $M$ be a finite von Neumann algebra. In the first part, we give asymptotic results about $M$-stable sequences of weak*-continuous mappings which are related with operators belonging to $M$. In the second part, we extend, by a shorter…

The Fiedler matrices are a large class of companion matrices that include the well-known Frobenius companion matrix. The Fiedler matrices are part of a larger class of companion matrices that can be characterized with a Hessenberg form. In…

We study asymptotics of generalized eigenvectors associated with Jacobi matrices. Under weak conditions on the coefficients we identify when the matrices are self-adjoint and show that they satisfy strong non-subordinacy condition.

We show that the condition number of any cyclically contiguous $p\times q$ submatrix of the $N\times N$ discrete Fourier transform (DFT) matrix is at least $$ \exp \left( \frac{\pi}{2} \left[\min(p,q)- \frac{pq}{N}\right] \right)~, $$ up to…

The Amitsur-Levitski theorem asserts that $M_n(F)$ satisfies a polynomial identity of degree $2n$. (Here, $F$ is a field and $M_n(F)$ is the algebra of $n \times n$ matrices over $F$). It is easy to give examples of subalgebras of $M_n(F)$…

A countable group $G$ is said to be \emph{matricial field} (MF) if it admits a strongly converging sequence of approximate homomorphisms into matrices; i.e, the norms of polynomials converge to those in the left regular representation. $G$…

For a free group $\mathbb{F}$ of finite rank such that $\text{rank}(\mathbb{F})\geq 3$, we prove that the set of weak limits of a conjugacy class in $\mathbb{F}$ under iterates of some hyperbolic $\phi\in\mathsf{Out(\mathbb{F})}$ is equal…

Let $\mathscr{F}$ be a field. A matrix $A$ of order $n \times n$ over $\mathscr{F}$ is a product of two nilpotent matrices if and only if it is singular, except if $A$ is a nonzero nilpotent matrix of order $2 \times 2$. This result was…

Let $E$ be a Banach space such that $E'$ has the Radon-Nikod\'ym property. The aim of this work is to connect relative weak compactness in the $E$-valued martingale Hardy space $H^{1}(\mu,E)$ to a convex compactness criterion in a weaker…

It is shown that finite groups in which the order of the product of every pair of elements of co-prime order is the product of the orders, is nilpotent.

In this paper, we study a class of Banach spaces, called \phi-spaces. In a natural way, we associate a measure of weak compactness in such spaces and prove an analogue of Sadovskii fixed point theorem for weakly sequentially continuous…
